Ah, I didn’t realize there was an update to version 1.28. Now with 1.30 and it works! Thank you!

This didn’t change the outcome, I still see it in the Appearance menu.

Maybe this filter isn’t valid? The filter from that stackoverflow shows a very different value.

I tried to do this myself without bugging you but I haven’t been successful relocating the Theme Options back to the top-level menu section using the function you wrote or modifying it based on other things I’ve read.

I tried using another filter suggested by the creator:

It did not work. Do you have any better suggestions? I really appreciate your time and feedback.

Ah, that’s very clear, thank you. I suppose I understand their guidelines, the line has to be drawn somewhere.

If I install and activate the Redux Framework plugin and it overrides what you have in your theme, will it still have all the same settings and content? And based on what you said, I’m assuming that plugin gives you the option to make it a top-level menu item? I haven’t used it before.

I’m confused, why do you say it’s not an option with wp.org themes? I do it all the time with Custom Post Types. Did you mean to say it’s not an option with the Redux Framework? I see where it’s being set but I can’t seem to override it to put it in the top-level menu section.

I figured it out. I was mistakenly putting the define('WPCF7_LOAD_JS', false); in functions.php instead of wp-config.php. Once I moved it to the config file, it worked as intended.

Thank you, Daniel!

I can confirm the same as Chad. This problem is fixed for me as well. Thanks Daniel!

That’s correct and I updated the initial post in this thread to reflect that. I just wanted to make sure you knew this was a problem so that maybe there could be a solution in the next update of this plugin.

Hey Daniel, it’s great you’re taking so much time to reply to these messages! When do you expect to finish the next update?

I get the same error with the same setup as well. I had to take out the database charset reference to UTF-8 from the wp-config.php file because it was causing the content to spit out random elements throughout the site.

Wow, why can’t every WordPress plugin developer be as awesome as you! Thanks!

Thanks for the reply! I think that’s great that you’re thinking about usability and I completely understand why you made this decision.

After going to the IRC channel for #wordpress, someone found this plugin which seems to do what I want. It’s the best solution I could find.

In order to make it work for CPTs, you have to enter a custom function into the functions.php file. It lists the instructions on the Other Notes tab.

@aaron, I am experiencing similar problems as magoac and I have the same setup with similar plugins. I installed on my localhost, disabled all plugins and it still doesn’t work properly. In fact, I cannot change the expiration date. Anytime I try to set a future expiration date, it reverts back to the post publish date and time.
